Portland Trailblazers forward Deni Avdija has surged to seventh place in fan voting for Western Conference players in the initial round of selections for the upcoming NBA All-Star Game. This puts Avdija ahead of established stars such as LeBron James and marks a significant milestone in his career. Earlier this month, Avdija became Israel's all-time leading scorer in the league, surpassing Omri Casspi. If selected, he would be the first Israeli player ever to appear in an NBA All-Star Game.
